Latest Romance Book Releases – 07-06-2021

9:39am UPDATE!! HAPPY TUESDAY EVERYONE!!! I’m working on today’s list and here’s what we have so far (keep checking back ’cause I’ve still got a few hours to go on this one).

P.S. Everyone… today we’ve got a tropical storm/possible hurricane heading right for us (in my Tampa Bay area), so while I don’t think I’m in any danger, I may be out of power for a day or more.

I’ll try my best to post updates somewhere (even if it’s just on Facebook) via my phone (though I’ve lost cell service in the past here with these storms)… so it’s all up in the air.

Right now I’m in prep mode for charging everything, tons of ice packs in my freezer, washing all my clothes, probably will fill my bathtubs with water etc etc…
